It was a bit like Mad Max 2 with everyone searching for the fuel, the precious fuel!.
I remember it well. I had enough petrol in my car to get me to/from work for a few more days (about 50 mile round trip) and the company wanted to send me up to Corby for a few days.
I agreed to go on the proviso that they found me a diesel car with a full tank of fuel so I could get home again to Sussex. They found one with half a tank and our warehouse in Corby had its own fuel bunker for the trucks so I could fill it up for the return.
On arriving in Corby they were made to fill the car up BEFORE I started any work so I knew I would get home

the roads were deserted though. It was a lovely drive there and back.
